CI/CD Reports

GitHub Actions

Store your API key as a repository secret, then render a chart and upload it as an artifact or attach to a job summary.

        run: |
          curl -X POST https://chart-output.com/api/v1/render \

            -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
            -d '{"type":"line","data":{"labels":["A","B","C"],"datasets":[{"data":[1,2,3]}]}}' \
            -o chart.png

PR Comments

Use returnUrl: true to get a CDN URL, then embed in a PR comment with an image tag.

# Get chart URL
RESPONSE=$(curl -s -X POST https://chart-output.com/api/v1/render \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ${{ secrets.CHART_OUTPUT_API_KEY }}" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"type":"bar","data":{"labels":["Pass","Fail"],"datasets":[{"data":[42,3]}]},"returnUrl":true}')
URL=$(echo $RESPONSE | jq -r '.url')
# Post to PR with gh cli or GitHub API

Jenkins

Use a shell step or Node/Python script to call the API. Store the API key in Jenkins credentials.
